Background

Origin and bloodline

The Wu Clan was born from Pangu's essence blood and inherited exceptionally powerful physical bodies. Its bloodline also carried Heaven-Opening Fiend Qi, which obstructed the birth of Primordial Spirits and inclined clan members toward irritability, bloodlust, impulsiveness, and combativeness 1 2.

Zhou Ming regarded the Fiend Qi as the central shackle on the clan's future. He sought to strengthen the Wu Clan without allowing its members to become warriors ruled solely by instinct and force 2.

Pangu placed Zhou Ming's soul and the refined System Core within Pangu Hall, a hall formed from his own heart, and bestowed a drop of his heart's essence blood upon him. Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu subsequently gestated together in blood cocoons. Pangu's lingering will regarded Zhou Ming as a possible variable capable of changing the Wu Clan's arduous destiny 1.

Early growth

Originally, the clan consisted only of Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu. At the Twelve's request, they used the blood pool within Pangu Hall—formed from Pangu's essence blood—to create new clansmen 12.

Zhou Ming transmitted an improved Nine Revolutions Fiend Quenching Art into the blood cocoons and used the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to assist their development. The first batch emerged with formidable bodies but no Primordial Spirits, revealing that their foundational limitation remained difficult to overcome 12.

While the Ancestral Wu cultivated Pangu's inheritance in seclusion, Zhou Ming's avatar, Wu Ming, managed clan affairs, developed outside ties, and guided the young race's growth 12. Over ten thousand years, the Wu Clan's settlements became orderly and disciplined; warriors refined their bodies, comprehended Laws, and practiced combat techniques rather than relying on raw strength alone 20.

Wu Ming's identity as Zhou Ming's avatar was later exposed during the Wu Clan's confrontation with Hongjun, revealing that Zhou Ming had directed the clan's external affairs while concealing his true existence 70.

Before the creation of ordinary clansmen, Zhou Ming had already helped the Twelve Ancestral Wu condense Primordial Spirits. He also organized their early travels to gather resources, Merit, and treasures while seeking Pangu's inheritance at Buzhou Mountain. The treasures they obtained were distributed according to each sibling's Law attributes and cultivation needs 8 9 10.

Under Wu Ming's direction, the clan's leaders attended Hongjun's sermons to compare his teachings with their own inheritance. They did not compete for the six disciple cushions, since those seats represented the Fortune of the Mystic Gate rather than the Wu Clan's path 13 14.

Formal establishment

Wu Ming concluded that the rising baleful intent of the Primordial World was both a danger and an opportunity. He proposed formally establishing the Wu Clan so it could earn Heaven and Earth's recognition, accumulate Fortune and Merit, and advance through the path of Proving Dao with Laws 23.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, hundreds of millions of warriors gathered beneath Pangu Hall. Wu Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu swore that the clan would:

  • Refine Heavenly Sha and restore clarity to the Primordial World.
  • Sort out earth veins and harmonize the Five Elements.
  • Stabilize heaven and earth.
  • Protect the world opened by Pangu. 24

The Great Dao, Pangu's lingering will, and the Heavenly Dao recognized the oath. Merit Golden Light descended upon the Ancestral Wu and participating clansmen, formally establishing the Wu Clan as a great race of the Primordial World 24.

Following the establishment, Wu Clan warriors dispersed throughout the Primordial Continent to fulfill the oath by bearing and refining Sha, regulating damaged earth veins, and balancing the Five Elements 25.

The founding ceremony defined the clan's responsibilities and cultivation strategy rather than merely announcing a race that already existed. Although its warriors spread widely, their initial work had only a limited effect upon the vast Primordial Continent 23 25.

War with the Demon Race and Heavenly Dao

Although the Demon Race's expansion threatened the Wu Clan, Wu Ming refused to initiate a war merely to eliminate a rival. He regarded the Demon Race as a useful opponent through which the Wu Clan could demonstrate sufficient strength to deter other ambitious forces, while avoiding the Karma of conquest 60.

When the Demon Race finally attacked, both sides agreed to an array battle. Wu Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu summoned Pangu's True Body against the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, shocking the observing Great Powers. Wu Ming then drew upon the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner to enhance the Pangu Axe and break the enemy formation. Hongjun intervened to save Di Jun and Taiyi before Wu Ming could seize Taiyi's Chaos Bell 66 68.

Hongjun attempted to take Wu Ming to his palace for confinement and initially overpowered the formation led by the avatar. Wu Ming refused to surrender and called for assistance, leading to Zhou Ming's direct involvement 69 70.

When Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao moved against the clan, Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu activated the Thirteen Capital Heavenly God Evil Array and manifested Pangu's True Body. They defeated Hongjun's side and forced back the Heavenly Dao's will, greatly elevating the Wu Clan's prestige across the Primordial World 73.

Afterward, Zhou Ming warned against killing the future Heavenly Dao Saints because the resulting Karma could endanger the clan. He instead urged his siblings to cultivate toward Hunyuan, awaken Pangu's final bloodline inheritance, and maintain their connection with Pangu's lingering will at Buzhou Mountain 76.

Reserve Great Witches and external disputes

To ensure the clan could still deploy its ancestral formation during emergencies, Zhou Ming ordered the selection of thirteen elite Great Witches. Each of the thirteen Ancestral Wu would provide one drop of essence blood for a selected Great Witch to refine. The recipients agreed to remain within Pangu Hall for the long term until the Tribulation ended or the clan was no longer threatened 120 121.

The selected Great Witches included Xing Tian, Chi You, Kuafu, Hou Yi, Nine Phoenix, Wind Earl, and Rain Master. Xing Tian, acknowledged as possessing the strongest physical body and fiercest battle intent among the Great Witches, received Zhou Ming's essence blood and advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm 121 122.

Hongjun later sought to weaken the Wu Clan by compelling Houtu to transform her true body into Reincarnation, thereby removing a member essential to its formation. The Wu Clan anticipated the scheme: Houtu proposed using her avatar, Calm Heart, while the Ancestral Wu openly rejected Hongjun's demand that she sacrifice her true body 176 180 181.

During the struggle over the Human Emperor, Chi You challenged Xuanyuan and came into conflict with the Clarify Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals. Yuanshi responded to the Wu Clan's support for Chi You by dispatching additional disciples and powerful treasures. Chi You also obtained covert help from fellow Great Witches, whose wind, rain, and fog abilities disrupted Xuanyuan's forces, and later retrieved an Innate Spiritual Treasure from the clan's treasury 291 294 301.

Later transcendence

The Wu Clan later entered the Heavenly Court to obtain its shared Fortune. In exchange for its support, the clan received half of the Heavenly Court's future Fortune and two positions among the Six Imperial Jade Masters 261 263. Houtu and Xing Tian received the positions, with Xing Tian leading the Wu Clan members stationed in the Heavenly Court 263.

The arrangement did not initially require the Wu Clan to administer the Heavenly Court directly. Zhou Ming preferred to leave government affairs to Haotian and Yaochi while the clan benefited from its Fortune. The Wu Clan's participation immediately improved recruitment and prevented the Western Teachings from carrying out their plan to gradually take control of the court 262 263 264.

Zhou Ming had begun creating a new world within the Dao Origin Divine Pearl much earlier, accompanied and protected by the Twelve Ancestral Wu in Chaos 122. He later restored former Demon Race and Immortal Court powers with the clan's support and assigned them to help develop that world. Under Di Jun's command, they used the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array to refine Chaos Qi into innate spiritual qi, accelerating the world's evolution 348.

As the Primordial Continent faced destruction, Zhou Ming planned to use its fragments to strengthen the Pangu Realm into a complete world capable of bearing Pangu's will 397. During the Saints' escalating conflict, he assigned Houtu, Di Jiang, and Zhu Jiuyin to collect fragments while Zhu Rong and Gong Gong guarded Buzhou Mountain 535. After reaching the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he used Pangu Hall to sever the Karma binding every clansman's True Spirit to the Primordial World 589.

The clan then migrated en masse into the Pangu Realm. Zhou Ming transported billions of clansmen and their land there, while Di Jiang, Houtu, and Zhu Jiuyin organized the settlement of the various tribes 590. Xing Tian remained behind temporarily to guard the Heavenly Court 590.

After ten thousand years in the Pangu Realm, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, Xuan Ming, Qiang Liang, Shebishi, Tian Wu, Xi Zi, and Ru Shou completed their breakthroughs, leaving all thirteen Ancestral Wu as Hunyuan-level Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals 590.

Zhou Ming rejected an immediate attack upon Hongjun after these breakthroughs, requiring his siblings to stabilize their realms first. He intended to strike when Hongjun's plan to make the West prosper completed and strengthened the Heavenly Dao while also creating a vulnerability 590.

Catastrophe in Chaos

Before the final campaign, Haotian and Yaochi pledged themselves to the Wu Clan despite Zhou Ming's warning that even Hunyuan cultivators were not assured of surviving the coming Great Calamity. After erasing Hongjun's Divine Sense, Zhou Ming ordered them to gather the Heavenly Court's Celestial Officials at Great Unity Golden Immortal level and above, marking the court's official incorporation into the Wu Clan's faction 696 699.

Zhou Ming convened the Ancestral Wu and their allied Great Powers at Pangu Hall. He planned to lead his siblings into Chaos to slay the Heavenly Dao with their ancestral formation while the remaining allies confronted Luohu and the forces at the Demon Realm's entrance 700.

During the later struggle against the Heavenly Dao, the Wu Clan's forces fought at the forefront alongside other allied forces. Xing Tian led Great Witches and Wu Clan warriors in deploying the Blood Baleful Great Array at the entrance to the Demon Realm 703.

The Blood Baleful Great Array clashed with the Devil Race's Myriad Devils Great Array. Two Heavenly Dao Saints prevented Di Jun and East King Duke from supporting the Wu Clan, while Luohu recalled the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and broke the allied Immortal Execution Sword Formation 703.

After the Heavenly Dao fell, the Wu Clan army remained engaged with the Devil Race. Xing Tian invoked Zhou Ming's imminent return to deter the newly appearing enemy, but the threat failed 716.

Hongjun subsequently used an origin-depriving method to slaughter and absorb the origins of hundreds of millions of Wu Clan and Demon Clan members, restoring his own cultivation to its peak 718. Yang Mei immobilized the victims, leaving Xing Tian unable even to raise his axe. Xing Tian died proclaiming that Zhou Ming would avenge the clan; the massacre erased the warriors completely, leaving no remnant souls 718. Hongjun had also obtained thirteen drops of Ancestral Wu essence blood from Great Witches who had refined blood bestowed by Zhou Ming and the other Ancestral Wu 725.

Following the disaster, Zhou Ming led the surviving Ancestral Wu and allies through Chaos Turbulence. He released Pangu Hall from his body, allowing it to form a secure refuge amid Chaos for the survivors to recover 728.

Within the refuge, the Human Clan's Martial Ancestor Wu offered to merge his origin with Zhou Ming's to hasten Zhou Ming's breakthrough toward the Hunyuan Infinite Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. Zhou Ming initially refused but ultimately accepted after Wu insisted upon sacrificing himself for the Human Clan's future 728.

Appearance

Wu Clan members are generally towering, powerfully built beings with physiques shaped by Pangu's essence blood 1 24.

  • Knotted musculature and naturally engraved Law runes on their skin 24.
  • Heavenly Sha often coils around their bodies, though disciplined warriors keep it restrained 24.
  • Their leading Ancestral Wu radiate heavy Law fluctuations capable of distorting surrounding space 23.
  • Their overwhelming blood and baleful aura can stain the sky crimson when the clan gathers in full force 590.
  • Great Witches and ordinary warriors alike are recognized for their formidable bodies and close-combat strength, even by cultivators of other paths 192.

Doctrine and culture

The Wu Clan's foundation is the cultivation of physical bodies and mastery of Laws. Its preferred paths are Proving Dao with Laws and Proving Dao with Strength, rather than relying on the Immortal Path's Slaying Three Corpses method 28.

Wu Ming explicitly rejects hegemony over the Primordial Wilderness. He considers the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Tribulation proof that struggles for supremacy invite catastrophic Karma and can destroy even the strongest race's future 28.

The clan's strategic priorities are:

  • Accumulating Merit and Fortune through its oath-bound duties 24 28.
  • Refining baleful intent rather than allowing it to corrupt the clan's minds 23 25.
  • Advancing through comprehension of Laws and physical cultivation 20 28.
  • Deterring enemies through overwhelming strength rather than seeking territorial hegemony 44 60.
  • Protecting its people and preserving an independent future beyond the Primordial World's control 588 589.

Despite its rejection of the Immortal Path as its principal cultivation system, the clan does not reject useful teachings from other paths. Wu Ming encouraged the Ancestral Wu to hear Hongjun's sermons, verify them against Pangu's inheritance, and deepen their Law comprehension through travel and observation 13 20 23.

Reverence for Pangu forms an important part of clan identity. Zhou Ming advised his siblings to communicate regularly with Pangu's lingering will, both to show filial respect and to retain its support at critical moments. He also presented fair exchange, rather than taking others' possessions by force, as conduct befitting Pangu Orthodox 76 156.

The clan's internal loyalty extends beyond its leaders. The elite Great Witches willingly accepted prolonged confinement in Pangu Hall to safeguard the clan's reserve formation, declaring themselves prepared to face deadly dangers for their people 121.

Although outside cultivators described the Wu Clan as the foremost clan or effective overlord of the Primordial Wilderness, this reputation reflected its overwhelming strength and protective influence rather than an abandonment of its stated opposition to hegemony 28 190 263.

Abilities & Skills

Pangu bloodline and physical bodies

As descendants of Pangu, Wu Clan members possess exceptional physical strength and resilience from birth 1 12.

  • Newborn clansmen possess extremely powerful bodies even when they fail to develop Primordial Spirits 12.
  • Their physique is suited to direct combat, body tempering, and enduring Heavenly Sha 1 20.
  • The same bloodline exposes them to Heaven-Opening Fiend Qi, which can destabilize their minds and inhibit Primordial Spirit formation 1 2.
  • Their leading thirteen members are exceptional among the clan, as each possesses a Primordial Spirit despite the Wu Clan's conventional bloodline limitation 14.
  • Refining an Ancestral Wu's essence blood can strengthen selected Great Witches and qualify them to substitute for the Ancestral Wu in the clan's formation; Xing Tian's refinement of Zhou Ming's blood also raised his cultivation realm 121 122.
  • The bloodline contains inheritance imprints left by Pangu, including a final inheritance connected to comprehension of the Hunyuan path 10 76.

Control of Laws

The Wu Clan's principal inheritance is command over Laws rather than conventional Immortal Path cultivation 20 23.

  • Ancestral Wu use Laws to stabilize earth veins and harmonize the Five Elements 24 25.
  • Warriors deepen their Law comprehension by traveling the Primordial World and observing natural changes 20.
  • Merit from the founding oath improves the Ancestral Wu's comprehension and control of Laws 24.
  • Zhou Ming's control of space and Laws was sufficient to transport billions of clansmen and an expanse of land into the Pangu Realm in a single action 590.
  • Great Witches can use innate divine abilities to produce battlefield-wide winds, torrential rain, and dense fog, disrupting movement, visibility, and military coordination 301.

Refinement of Sha

The clan's oath-bound mission is to contain and refine the baleful intent saturating the Primordial World 24 25.

  • Members use their bodies to bear and refine Heavenly Sha 24.
  • They work across the Primordial Continent to regulate earth veins affected by conflict and spiritual-treasure strife 25.
  • Excessive baleful intent remains dangerous, as it can foster chaos and aggravate the Wu Clan's innate Fiend Qi 23.
  • The Nine Revolutions Fiend Quenching Art is part of Zhou Ming's effort to address the clan's innate Fiend Qi problem; its improved form was imparted to the first generation of blood-pool clansmen during gestation 5 12.

Ancestral formation

The clan's ultimate military trump card is a formation jointly wielded by Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu 73 700.

  • The Thirteen Capital Heavenly God Evil Array can manifest the Pangu True Body 73.
  • The Twelve Divine Fiend Formation is described as capable of re-creating Father God Pangu's True Body 700.
  • This formation enabled the Wu Clan to force back Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao's will during a major confrontation 73.
  • Wu Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Wu could also form the array, although Hongjun initially overpowered the avatar-led version 66 69.
  • The Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner can augment the manifested Pangu Axe, greatly increasing the formation's offensive power 68.
  • Thirteen elite Great Witches who refined the corresponding Ancestral Wu's essence blood were prepared as substitute formation members 120 121.
  • The ancestral formation was the basis of Zhou Ming's later campaign in Chaos to slay the Heavenly Dao 700 716.

Blood Baleful Great Array

The Wu Clan can marshal its Great Witches and rank-and-file warriors into the Blood Baleful Great Array, a large-scale military formation led by Xing Tian during the battle before the Demon Realm 703.

The array directly opposed the Devil Race's Myriad Devils Great Array. It did not protect its members from Yang Mei's immobilization or Hongjun's origin-depriving attack during the subsequent massacre 703 718.

Vulnerabilities and safeguards

  • Ordinary blood-pool clansmen initially failed to develop Primordial Spirits despite Zhou Ming's improved cultivation method and assistance from the Dao Origin Divine Pearl 12.
  • The clan's original karmic bonds to the Primordial World allowed Hongjun to threaten its people through the Immeasurable Calamity. Severing those bonds and migrating to the Pangu Realm removed that specific leverage 588 589 590.
  • Essence blood bestowed as a defensive safeguard could be recovered from its recipients by an overwhelmingly stronger enemy. Hongjun extracted thirteen drops from the slain Great Witches and retained them for use against the Ancestral Wu 725.
  • Even the clan's strongest Great Witches and massed military formation could not resist the combined restraint and origin-deprivation techniques of Yang Mei and Hongjun 718.

Territory and institutions

  • Pangu Hall — The ancestral hall at Buzhou Mountain, repository of Pangu's inheritance and the center of the clan's Fortune. It later serves as the instrument through which Zhou Ming severs the clan's Karma and as a refuge in Chaos 12 589 728. Formed from Pangu's heart, it also houses the reserve Great Witches assigned to safeguard the ancestral formation 1 121.
  • Blood Pool — A pool within Pangu Hall formed from Pangu's essence blood; the Twelve Ancestral Wu use it to create new Wu Clan members 12.
  • Buzhou Mountain settlements — The clan's original homeland, containing organized tribal communities and Great Witches who oversee local warriors 20 24.
  • Pangu Realm — The Wu Clan's new homeland after its separation from the Primordial World. The arrival of the clan's billions of inhabitants made the realm more complete and vibrant 590. Zhou Ming created the developing world within the Dao Origin Divine Pearl, while Di Jun and other restored powers later maintained its development through the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array 122 348.
  • Heavenly Court garrison — A contingent of Wu Clan members led by Xing Tian, established to secure the clan's share of Heavenly Court Fortune and its two Imperial Jade Master positions 261 263.
  • Heavenly Court under Wu Clan authority — After Haotian and Yaochi pledged themselves to the clan, Zhou Ming directed them to mobilize its high-level Celestial Officials for the coming campaign 696 699.
  • Clan treasury — A repository of spiritual treasures from which Chi You obtained an Innate Spiritual Treasure during his struggle against Xuanyuan 301.

Relationships

  • Pangu — Creator and ancestral father. The Wu Clan identifies itself as Pangu Orthodox and grounds its authority, inheritance, and founding oath in his legacy 12 24. His lingering will recognized the clan's establishment and was cultivated as a continuing source of support 24 76.
  • Zhou Ming / Wu Ming — Zhou Ming is the clan's leader and elder brother; Wu Ming is his avatar, entrusted with managing clan affairs and external relations during Zhou Ming's seclusion 12 24.
  • Twelve Ancestral Wu — The clan's foremost rulers and Zhou Ming's blood-connected siblings. They lead the clansmen, cultivate Pangu's inheritance, and act alongside him in the clan's greatest formation 12 24 700.
  • Xing Tian — A prominent Great Witch entrusted with one of the Six Imperial Jade Master positions. He commands Wu Clan members in the Heavenly Court and later leads the Blood Baleful Great Array 263 703. He refined Zhou Ming's essence blood as a reserve formation member and was later killed in Hongjun's massacre while calling for vengeance for his clansmen 121 122 718.
  • Hou Yi and Kuafu — Elite Great Witches selected for the reserve formation. Hou Yi maintains a close friendship with the Human Clan's Wu, teaches him elementary clan cultivation methods, and offers to help relocate humanity with Kuafu's assistance 109 121 191.
  • Chi You — A leading Great Witch and chieftain of the Jiuli Tribe who challenges Xuanyuan. He receives covert support from other Great Witches and access to the clan's treasury during the ensuing conflict 121 291 294 301.
  • Human Clan — A neighboring people periodically protected by the Wu Clan. Zhou Ming insists that humanity must ultimately become self-reliant, since excessive Wu Clan intervention could attract Heavenly Dao backlash 95 195. Hou Yi taught the human Wu superficial Wu Clan cultivation methods and combat techniques, while the Human Clan temporarily settled near Wu Clan territory for protection before later preparing to migrate independently 109 191 276. During humanity's Great Tribulation, Zhou Ming limited the Demon Race's permitted strength but required the humans themselves to confront enemies within that range 211 213.
  • Wu, the Human Martial Ancestor — An allied human cultivator distinct from the Wu Clan itself. His friendship with Hou Yi helped him learn clan techniques, and he later sacrificed his origin to hasten Zhou Ming's advancement after the retreat into Chaos 109 191 728.
  • Demon Race — A major rival force. The Wu Clan refuses to contend with it for supremacy, but expects eventual conflict and treats its military growth cautiously 28 60. Wu Ming anticipated victory over the Demon Race while maintaining that the Wu Clan would not rule the Primordial Wilderness afterward 53 56. Restored leaders such as Di Jun and Taiyi later worked under Zhou Ming to develop the Pangu Realm, replacing their earlier hostility with service and cooperation 348 590.
  • Heavenly Court — The Wu Clan exchanges its prestige for half of the Heavenly Court's future Fortune and two Imperial Jade Master positions, then sends members to assume divine posts 261 263. The court later comes under the clan's authority after its rulers pledge themselves to Zhou Ming 696 699.
  • Haotian and Yaochi — Initially beneficiaries of the Wu Clan's prestige and political support. They later voluntarily join its faction to seek protection from the approaching Great Calamity and undertake the mobilization of the Heavenly Court's forces 257 261 696 699.
  • East King Duke and the Immortal Court — Wu Ming warned East King Duke of the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array and sought to strengthen the Immortal Court as a counterweight to the Demon Race 53 54. Restored former Immortal Court powers subsequently cooperated with their old Demon Race rivals in Zhou Ming's world-development project 348.
  • Dragon Clan — The Wu Clan's potential relationship with the Dragon Clan influenced East King Duke's negotiations with Candle Dragon. The Dragon Clan remained cautious of any action that might offend the overwhelmingly powerful Wu Clan 55 298.
  • Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun — Friendly external allies of Wu Ming; they praise the Wu Clan's founding vow, maintain cordial ties with it, and later volunteer to aid it against the Demon Race 12 25 63.
  • Tongtian — An external cultivator who traded the Sea Calming Divine Beads to Wu Ming and later sought help at Pangu Hall. After relinquishing his Saint Position, he continued cultivating toward Hunyuan and joined the coalition assembled by Zhou Ming 34 518 588 700.
  • Nuwa — An external ally whose relationship with the clan complicated her obedience to Hongjun's orders against Zhou Ming. She welcomed the clan's eventual severance of its Karma from the Primordial World 176 589.
  • Yuanshi and the Clarify Sect — Opponents in the Houtu scheme and the conflict surrounding Chi You. Yuanshi sought to neutralize the clan's ancestral formation by removing Houtu and later reinforced his disciples to overcome Chi You's Wu Clan-backed resistance 181 291 294.
  • Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao — Principal opposing forces in the clan's effort to escape the Primordial World's restraints. Zhou Ming ultimately severs the Wu Clan's Karma despite Hongjun's resistance, but Hongjun later massacres hundreds of millions of Wu Clan warriors to restore his own strength 589 718. The Ancestral Wu's campaign subsequently brings about the Heavenly Dao's fall, without ending Hongjun's threat 700 716 718.
  • Yang Mei — An enemy allied with Hongjun. His restraint prevented Xing Tian and the Wu Clan army from resisting the origin-depriving massacre 718.
  • Luohu and the Devil Race — Enemies confronted by the clan's army at the Demon Realm's entrance. Their Myriad Devils Great Array fought the Blood Baleful Great Array while the Ancestral Wu battled the Heavenly Dao in Chaos 700 703.
